ArmorDeck™

Product Description

Special Event Flooring & Turf Protection

ArmorDeck is Signature’s premium special event flooring and turf protection floor covering system. It is designed to handle heavy loads and to provide the ultimate in stability and ground protection. It is the most advanced engineered special event flooring system on the market today and offers stability, heavy-duty support and superior natural and synthetic turf protection for all types of grass surfaces and infill.

ArmorDeck is a large panel system, that features an integrated connection system, optional drainage and aeration holes, an optional underside layer (for synthetic turf and very heavy duty applications), an optional turf pad system, a durable proprietary plastic cam lock system and unsurpassed liquid spill protection. Each section has a useable surface area of 1.067m x 1.067m and is 5.08 cm thick, thus providing maximum rigidity and surface protection.

No system has been as comprehensively engineered to handle the rigors of tent, concert, stadium use and all types of special events. No system incorporates the functionality, features, and capabilities of the ArmorDeck.

Patented Expansion Joint Panels

Plastic flooring will expand and contract when exposed to changes in temperature and this “thermal expansion” can cause plastic floor tiles to warp, buckle, or even separate. ArmorDeck’s HDPE construction contains UV inhibitors and other additives to protect the panels from the sun, but when panels expand even a fraction of an inch, the cumulative expansion across a large area can cause significant distortion or impede the installation process. These irregularities can present dangerous and unsightly conditions for your staff.

Signature’s ArmorDeck is the only large panel modular flooring system with an available expansion joint designed to compensate for the thermal expansion that can occur when a floor is subjected to varying temperatures. These Expansion Joint Modules function like the expansion joints in a bridge or highway and allow the material to contract and expand naturally without warping.

With ArmorDeck Expansion Joints, you can feel confident the ArmorDeck system will be able to handle temperature fluctuation throughout the day and prevent potential warping or buckling, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing an engineered solution is in place.

Easy Connection System Allows for Rapid Installation

Unlike other flooring systems, Signature’s ArmorDeck features an integrated connection system which is self-aligning and provides ease of installation and tremendous strength.Sections are simply laid into place and self-align using Signature’s proprietary hook and loop fastening system, which actually guide panels into place. For added strength, sections may be locked together using Signature’s proprietary plastic cam lock system, though in many applications the basic hook and loop system will suffice and the cam need not be engaged.

Combine ArmorDeck versions for the ultimate integrated special event flooring system. For example, it is possible to combine ArmorDeck 3 (with bottom protection layer) with ArmorDeck 1 (aeration version) to create a uniform, fully connected floor for all event areas.ArmorDeck’s proprietary plastic cam lock system is stronger than alternate cam lock systems and provides superior strength and long term durability. Its integrated hook and loop system provides additional torsional stability and strength and enables ArmorDeck to handle the heaviest of loads.

Cable Channel System

For any location that needs to be wired for power and computer access, you can create a safer, more level floor using our ArmorDeck panels with integrated Cable Channels. Available for each type of ArmorDeck, these panels have deep, molded channels that allow you to run cables under the surface of your floor, reducing the trip hazard that wires present and protecting them from damage. Simply run your wires and drop in the protective, heavy-duty Cable Access Covers. Avoid injuries and costly damage to equipment while maintaining easy access to your wires and cables.

Signature’s ArmorDeck features an expansive moisture canopy and bi-directional ribbing system, which distributes weight effectively and allows grass to grow and flourish even during installation.A translucent version of ArmorDeck is available for better natural grass protection. Sunlight penetrates the protective panels to allow photosynthesis to continue for the duration of the installation, enabling you to leave ArmorDeck on your natural grass longer.Drainage and aeration holes provide circulation and help keep your natural turf healthy and safe, while small rims surrounding each drainage hole prevent unwanted liquids from penetrating the surface and reaching the ground.ArmorDeck tiles overlap, providing the ultimate in surface protection and each overlap/underlay combination also incorporates a liquid capture channel which prevents unwanted liquids from flowing through the seam and onto the protected surface.All underside ribbing features a radius edge that eliminates any sharp edges and provides additional peace of mind when traversing heavier payloads over the floor.Staging, speaker towers, and lighting trusses and ballast may be placed on ArmorDeck and the system will provide heavy duty protection.When you remove your ArmorDeck floor, your grass may actually look better than it did before your installed the flooring. Simply brush your grass after floor removal and unlike other floors, it will be nearly impossible to see any distinguishable pattern resulting from the floor installation.ArmorDeck Has No Channels or Dirt Catching Surfaces ArmorDeck is designed to be easy to clean and to require minimal maintenance. Our system avoids surface channels, into which dirt, debris, cigarette butts, or other troublesome garbage can get stuck.Each panel has an anti-slip sandblast finish that is easy to clean using standard cleaning materials, such as mops, brooms, and water. There are no unsightly patterns or ridges to catch dirt and is uniform and consistent

ArmorDeck is Manufactured Using the Highest Quality Materials

Each ArmorDeck panel is expertly manufactured using the finest High Density Plastic (HDPE) materials, which are reinforced with additives for added strength, flex modulus, and izod impact value. A 5-year UV package is incorporated into the material formulation to prevent degradation and brittleness as a result of prolonged sun exposure.Our Cam locks are manufactured in a proprietary blend of plastic providing considerable increased strength and eliminating the need to replace broken cams.

ArmorDeckTM is engineered for use over natural or synthetic turf, dirt, sand, gravel, asphalt, and other sensitive surfaces. It is ideal for ground protection and access
